Abstract

PURPOSE:To perform operation for stacking and storing a lot of bills at a time in an accurate manner by installing an eccentric roller projecting its part into a stacking and storage area from a stacking plate, while rotating this eccentric roller when the bills have come to a position of a sensor installed in the point midway in a conveying passage, and controlling any motion of the bills. CONSTITUTION:When rotational operation of an eccentric roller 1a rotates and advances as far as one a half, the lower half of a bill 9a being fed in is thrust in a side of a bottom plate 7 by the eccentric roller 1a, and thereby the already stacked bill 9b and a partition plate 2 both are moved in an arrow D direction. Synchronously with this movement, a belt 15 of a belt mechanism part 14 is moved in an arrow C direction, whereby a position of the bill 9b is always kept so stably. In succession, when rotational operation of the eccentric roller 1a rotates and advances as far as three fourths, the bill 9a fed in is almost housed in a stacking and storage area, and the eccentric roller 1a is retreated. With this, the already stacked bill 9b and the partition plate 2 are put back in direction of the eccentric roller 1a by dint of a spring 12.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a banknote accumulation/storage device. As shown in FIG.
Since the volume is limited to a certain size on the bottom plate 27 separated by the partition plate 22, only the number of banknotes within that volume can be stacked, and the stacked banknotes 9 cannot be stored in the storage area. In order to transfer the data to another location, it is necessary to provide a separate transfer mechanism.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

As mentioned above, conventional banknote accumulating and storing devices are configured with two separate areas, the accumulating area and the storage area, of which the accumulating area has fixed dimensions. It has the disadvantage that only a limited number of banknotes can be stacked, and when stacking a large number of banknotes, it is necessary to perform the stacking and storing operation several times. A mechanism for transferring banknotes to a storage area is required, which also has the disadvantage of increasing the processing time. a sensor that is installed in the middle of a conveyance path that guides the conveyance of the banknotes that are separated and sent one by one and detects the leading edge of the banknotes;
A collection and storage area provided at the bottom of the transport path and formed by transport guides and bottom plates arranged at the top and bottom positions, and collection plates and partition plates arranged at the left and right positions; a steel core roller mechanism section having a steel core roller that partially protrudes from the accumulation plate into the accumulation storage area in the middle of the accumulation plate;
A belt mechanism section having a belt that is connected to a rotary roller mechanism section and operates at a reduced speed; a motor that drives the first eccentric roller mechanism section and the belt mechanism section; a spring that returns the partition plate that has been pressed through banknotes accumulated in the partition plate; and a control unit that controls rotation of the motor when the sensor detects banknotes conveyed to the conveyance path. ing.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

- (d) are side views showing the operating states of the partition plate, the steel core roller of the eccentric roller mechanism section, and the belt of the belt mechanism section over time in the embodiment of FIG. 1;

In the banknote accumulation/storage device of the embodiment shown in FIG.
An integrated storage area IO is formed by the above. The first center roller 1a is connected to a motor 8. Conveyance path 13
When a banknote (not shown) is detected by a pair of sensors 11, the motor 8 is activated by a command from a control system (not shown), and the eccentric row 9111
The eccentric roller 1a of section 1 is rotated. Eccentric roller 1 is 1
During the rotation, a part of the accumulating plate 3 protrudes into the accumulating storage area 10, and when one rotation is completed, it stops at the retracted position. In synchronization with this, the speed reduction mechanism 16 connected to the eccentric roller mechanism 1 decelerates the belt mechanism 14, causing the belt mechanism 14 to move ftE L.
-15 moves in the direction of arrow B in the figure.

Next, the operation of stacking and storing banknotes in the stacking and storing area 10 will be explained with reference to FIG. 2.

First, as shown in FIG. 2(a), when the banknotes 9 are separated one by one from a bundle of banknotes and passed through the conveyance path 13, the leading edge of the banknotes 9 is in the middle of the conveyance path 13. When the provided sensor l comes to the position, the motor 8 is activated by a command from the control system, and the eccentric roller a starts rotating in the direction of the arrow 13 in the figure, and at the same time, the belt 15 of the belt mechanism section 14 is rotated. When the eccentric roller a starts moving in the direction of arrow C in the figure and then rotates 174 times as shown in FIG. The bottom part begins to be pushed in the direction of the bottom plate 7 by one eccentric roller a, and at the same time, the partition plate 2 begins to be pushed in the direction of the arrow in the figure together with the already stacked banknotes 9b. At the same time, the belt 15 of the belt mechanism 14 also begins to move in the direction of the arrow in order to prevent the banknotes 9b already stacked from falling.

Next, as shown in FIG. 2(C), one eccentric roller a
When the rotational movement progresses by 1/2 rotation, the lower half of the incoming banknotes 9a is pushed toward the bottom plate 7 by the eccentric roller a, and the already stacked banknotes 9b and the partition plate 2 are aligned with the arrow. move in the direction. By moving the belt 15 of the belt mechanism 14 in the direction of arrow C in synchronization with this, the posture of the banknote 9b is always kept stable.
As shown in Figure (d), the rotational movement of the eccentric roller 1a is
When the banknotes 9a have been rotated by /4, they are almost stored in the accumulation storage area 10, and the eccentric roller 1a is retracted. Along with this, the already accumulated banknotes 9b and the partition plate 2 are moved by the force of the spring 12 (f4 core roller 1a
be returned to.

By repeating the above operations, the continuously conveyed banknotes 9 are accumulated one after another in the accumulation storage area, so it is possible to accumulate a large number of banknotes.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, in the operation of stacking and storing a large number of banknotes, the banknote accumulation/storage device of the present invention detects when a banknote being conveyed comes to the position of a sensor provided in the middle of the conveyance path. The rotational movement of the center roller is started to push away the bundles of banknotes that have already been accumulated in the stacking and storage area, and also to push the incoming banknotes into the stacking and storage area, thereby preventing the banknotes that have already been stacked from falling over. In order to prevent this, by moving the bottom of the stacked banknotes, it is possible to reliably stack and store a large number of banknotes at once.
